Chapter 613 Batman is brutally kissed, merciless iron fist: 3-part series
Chapter 613 Batman is forcibly kissed, ruthless and iron-fisted: A three-way spree?! (5000-word chapter)
Seeing Wu Min Tie Wan rushing towards him like a madman, Chen Tao felt like his head was about to explode.
Chen Tao assessed his current abilities and concluded that he was absolutely capable of defeating any member of the Dark Knights in a one-on-one confrontation, and that even if they were empowered by Barbatos' energy, the final outcome would not change.
That's strong enough, considering that each member of the Dark Knights, empowered by Barbatos' energy, defeated their counterpart from their own universe in a one-on-one duel.
However, being able to defeat the opponent does not mean being able to instantly kill them. This is also an important reason why the Batman Who Laughs placed the Merciless Iron Fist here. Every minute Chen Tao wastes on the Merciless Iron Fist means less attention and suppression he can give to the Batman Who Laughs.
Giving the Laughing Bat time to develop will definitely lead to extremely terrible results.
Barbatos, Papetua, Lex Luthor from the main universe, and even Superman and Batman from the main universe, along with a whole host of other victims, have all proven this point.
(Note: They briefly suppressed Maniac Laughter in numerous publications, including Metal, Death Metal, and Batman/Superman, but were ultimately defeated.)
So, to avoid uttering that disgusting line "Everything is going according to plan" during his final laugh, Chen Tao never intended to fight Wu Min Tie Quan in the first place. He arranged for Bane and a crazy version of the retro Wonder Woman to deal with him.
To prevent the Merciless Iron Fist from becoming uncontrollable, he even assigned the Lantern Horror, who was responsible for achieving a balance of the three powers, to Bane, and then put him in charge of restraining the Merciless Iron Fist.
The Magical Laughing Woman was responsible for attacking the mind of the Merciless Iron Fist, the Horrifying Lantern was responsible for suppressing the opponent's body, and Bane summoned zombies to fight against the ghosts controlled by the opponent. The three were in one, completely restraining each other. The plan was very good, but everything vanished when the Merciless Iron Fist jumped onto Chen Tao's face.
"Damn it, where's Bane? Where's the Marvelous Laughing Woman?"
A communication was immediately sent by Chen Tao to Bain's face using the Metal Spirit.
Paradise Island.
"Ah... what is it? Nobody's here... damn it... this is weird... I'm hungry... oh no. This is so strange!"
She walked foolishly to the side of an Amazonian corpse, a sword wound slicing from the female warrior's cheek across her neck and into her abdomen.
The female warrior had the expression of a gruesome NPC from a horror movie, staring wide-eyed at the laughing Wonder Woman.
"Who...who hit my best friend? Waaah..."
A dazed Diana tried to lift the body: "Eh...how strange, how strange, how did you die?"
As she spoke, large tears streamed down her face: "Why! Don't do this! I'm most afraid of this, I don't like it, sob sob sob... everyone..."
Although her mind was already in a state of confusion, the sight of the Amazonian corpses scattered on the ground still caused the insane Diana to begin crying incoherently.
Beside her, the space of the Crimson Realm burst open in an instant, and Bane, wearing a hood, jumped out from it, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
"Where's the Merciless Iron Fist? I just saw such a huge Merciless Iron Fist!"
While Wonder Woman was rambling on and aimlessly searching for enemies, Bane remained hidden in the Crimson Dimension of All Beings, following closely behind her.
He intended to take advantage of the moment when the merciless iron fist was not paying attention and launch a surprise attack with a left front kick and a right whip kick with the terrifying lantern, but after planning for so long, he suddenly disappeared.
Bane was overly cautious, thinking that Iron Fist had fallen for the Batman Who Laughs's trick and was hiding in the shadows planning a counterattack. At first, Wonder Woman Who Laughs couldn't find her, and Bane was hiding in the Red of All Beings, constantly trying to find out where Iron Fist was. If Batman hadn't just sent a message, he probably would still be out there trying to outwit thin air.
"I'm coming right now." Bane strode over, laughing wildly. Wonder Woman's mind was in a daze; upon seeing someone, she instinctively wanted to raise her sword.
With a thud, the mud on Bain's face was instantly transformed into a full Amazon warrior uniform.
Actually, when Batman proposed this method, Bane no longer thought there was anything wrong with it.
Over the years, his standards have been getting lower and lower. He has even seen ventriloquists dressed as maids. What could be more outrageous than that?
Furthermore, since she only wears it when she needs to control the Magical Laughing Woman, it puts even less psychological pressure on Bane.
Bane puffed out his chest, his massive pectoral muscles supporting what should have been there. Although it was a women's combat suit, it looked strange on Bane, this muscle man, but because he was so muscular, it actually fit him fairly well.
The laughing Wonder Woman, whose brain has been distorted by the drugs, suddenly felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing this Amazonian attire.
"My best friend," she said.
With a bang, Bane's uniform disappeared, but Wonder Woman who laughed still obediently let Bane grab her shoulder, and then the two appeared in the Red of All Beings.
"Ghost Raiders, let's go!"
Bane gave an order to the stunned and silent Lantern Man of Horror, which earned him a barrage of malicious insults from the two energies within him:
"Damn bastard, I'm going to..."
The Queen Hecate and the fire god Surtur, inside the Lantern of Horror, pounced on Bane and unleashed a series of sweet farts, which made Bane want to laugh.
One is a goddess of magic, and the other is a giant of fire. These two gods don't know how to curse at all. Their little cursing skills are no different from tickling the old Gothamites.
Although Bane is technically an outsider in Gotham... don't worry about the details.
"I'm sorry, Bane, I can't control them... Don't take what they say to heart."
Bane nodded toward Alan Scott, the old Lantern who could speak with his own thoughts within the Lantern of Horror, and then pulled the Mother Box out of the Red of All Beings.
The blast portal opened instantly. By using it to teleport long distances within the Red Hole, he could quickly appear in the Red Hole dimension where Batman was located. At that point, he would be able to easily launch a surprise attack or provide support to Batman.
He took a step forward, leading the other two through the sonic boom tunnel, and then...
They found themselves in a primeval jungle. A tyrannical dragon was startled by Bane and jumped up from the ground, only to fall flat on its back.
"???"
Bain thought he had made a mistake, so he quickly led the two back and then reopened the portal.
On the other side of the door was a battlefield filled with the smoke of gunpowder. Bain took a couple of steps in a daze and bumped into a bewildered Napoleon Bonaparte. He was then met with a barrage of musket fire from Napoleon's personal guard, and both of them were startled.
"Damn it, I get it now." Bane's face was ashen. "Batman, that damn Reverse-Flash has made this universe's timeline a complete mess. Time and space here are too fragile. Traveling such a long distance causes spacetime to shatter, and he keeps throwing me into some random point on the timeline. Sorry, I'm afraid I'll be late."
"Understood." He heard Batman's calm voice. Bane gritted his teeth, and then they returned to the original location of the Red of All Beings. Bane had originally planned to depart from within the Red of All Beings, but the thought of that unstable, shattered space made him slap his forehead.
"Forget it, let's just go straight to the reality of the material universe."
So the three of them eventually returned to the ground of Paradise Island, and Bane then turned his attention to the Lantern Raider.
The Lantern Horror unleashed another torrent of sweet, pungent farts at Bane.
"You lead us away, straight to the merciless iron fist..."
"Seek ruthless and merciless revenge."
The second half of the sentence was not said by Bain.
Bain turned his head, inwardly reflecting on his failure to check his surroundings immediately after leaving the Crimson Realm. He wondered what would have happened if his opponent had attacked him instead of speaking. Bain realized he had been too careless...
The other party was also a martial arts expert; it wasn't that he hadn't noticed the other party's excuse.
A Wonder Woman dressed in a crown emerged from the ruins strewn with corpses, supporting her bleeding hand. One of her arms hung limply. At first, Bane thought it had been dislocated by some kind of joint lock, but when he saw the gruesome wound on her back as she turned to the side, Bane realized that the perpetrator was far more vicious than he had imagined.
The merciless iron fist severed the tendons in her arm from behind with a long sword.
"Who are you?" Bain asked a name he knew the answer to.
"I am Wonder Woman Diana, Wonder Woman Diana of this universe," said Wonder Queen.
This universe is a reflection of the Flashpoint in the main universe, therefore the Wonder Woman in this universe is the Amazonian queen, the culprit who fought against Arthur Corey, the king of Atlantis, until the world was destroyed.
Of course, she hadn't even had a chance to fight to that extent before the merciless iron fist came knocking and slaughtered her.
"That guy called Merciless Iron Fist, you're his enemies, right?"
"Wonder Queen said, panting heavily."
"I gathered a lot of information about him during my fierce battle with the merciless and ruthless man. I thought I had no chance to retaliate in kind..."
Wonder Queen's face revealed a cruel and violent smile, completely different from that of most Wonder Women in parallel universes; at this moment, she was a vengeful beast.
The differences between isomorphic entities in different parallel universes are greater than those between humans and dogs.
When Wonder Queen in the Flashpoint timeline had a falling out with Aquaman Arthur of Atlantis, she was supposed to be engaged to the King of Atlantis, but before the wedding, she discovered that Arthur was having an affair with Mera. So Wonder Queen cut off Mera's head and then threw it in front of Arthur while holding her hair.
With this kind of gameplay, it would be a miracle if Arthur, the king of Atlantis in this universe, didn't get envious.
Now, Paradise Island, controlled by the cruel and violent Wonder Queen, has been inexplicably attacked and slaughtered by the Merciless Iron Fist, who then simply walked away. Had the Merciless Iron Fist not suddenly disappeared, even the Wonder Queen would have been a victim of his blade.
It would be strange if Wonder Queen didn't seek revenge for such hatred.
Bain shook his head: "Your shoulder..."
Then he heard Wonder Woman grab his shoulder and shove him back hard, followed by a chilling crack, and then the sound of his skin starting to heal.
"It doesn't matter if I go a little faster, my wound will heal quickly."
Wonder Woman flicked the blood off her sword and sheathed it: "We'll make that damned, merciless iron-fisted man pay for his crimes in a minute."
"Is the blood on your sword from a merciless, iron-fisted hand?"
Wonder Queen's face twitched.
"It's mine," she said. "The Merciless Ironfist took my sword and then threw it away. But soon it will be stained with the Merciless Ironfist's blood."
That's what she said.
"Sister...you smell so good...so fragrant! I like it...oh, I like sister...the same scent."
Wonder Queen shoved Wonder Woman away with disdain.
"So," she said, "can we set off now and kill that bastard? Let's get going, I have something to tell you on the way."
A few seconds later, Bane and two completely different versions of Wonder Woman sat side by side riding on the back of the Lantern Horror, like riding a witch's broom.
The Green Lantern Ring of the Horror Lantern provided them with a protective shield on the outside, and they flew like shooting stars towards Batman's location in the Red of All Beings.
As they flew, Bain heard the other person's voice: "During this time fighting against the merciless iron fist, I've found a way to weaken the enemy significantly, if not defeat them, in a short time. But it requires you and this person beside you..."
"Diana," Bane said, "This is Diana, Wonder Woman, and this is also Wonder Woman. Okay, now you know each other."
"Yes, in short, I need your Diana's cooperation. We should do this and that... and then you can launch a sneak attack..."
"Mudface? Hmm... I can't tell which one is the real Diana without using a merciless iron fist, but creating illusions to distract her is still an option..."
"..."
"Yes, that's right, let's do it that way."
……
……
……
This is unbelievable! Bane can't get here right away.
Chen Tao was so tormented that he almost began to question his existence.
Hey, do you think there's any possibility?
Everything he's experiencing now is—all part of the Batman Who Laughs's plan!
Perhaps, once he deals with the merciless iron fist, he'll be facing the Batman Who Laughs's classic line, "Disgusting man."
"No, no."
Chen Tao clutched his head and rejected his own idea; he had just acted like an idiot.
"The merciless iron fist was brought by the bat mite. If the Bat of Laughter can control the bat mite, why doesn't he just control it and make it surrender? Why go through all this trouble to have it come over and influence him? And letting the bat mite get too close to him doesn't give him a natural opportunity to guide it."
If this opportunity is used to let Chen Tao and Bat Mite stay together, and the price is that Merciless Iron Fist can delay Batman for a certain period of time, it seems like a losing proposition. So, strictly speaking, this is an unexpected event that neither side anticipated.
However, this unexpected turn of events was somewhat unfavorable for Chen Tao—he hadn't intended to deal with the Merciless Iron Fist, nor did he believe anyone could control the Cruel Knight. This guy had been enhanced to a superhuman level by the Merciless Iron Fist using the power of war, so Chen Tao simply swallowed him and sealed him within his own body in the Metal Spirit's alternate dimension. But now…
"War is everywhere, Bruce. I am you. What makes you think you can stop it?"
Chen Tao watched helplessly as the Cruel Knight sprouted from behind the Merciless Iron Fist. Yes, it sprouted, like some kind of grafted plant, appearing in a way that defied common sense, like a dividing spore.
At the same time, Chen Tao also sensed that the cruel knight's body, which was sealed within the metal spirit, was rapidly withering away, turning into an empty shell.
It appears to be the power of some Greek god, conceptually releasing the cruel knight from Chen Tao's cage.
The Cruel Knight somehow conjured a heavy machine gun and opened fire on the limited-edition Wonder Woman in her wedding dress, who was lunging at him from behind. Diana from the Chen Tao universe was wearing the extra-long, floor-length wedding dress prepared for her by the Bat Mite and was unarmed. She was immediately forced back by the bullets that seemed to possess some kind of war god's power.
Chen Tao had no time to support his Diana. He used a prostate slide and suddenly swung the bone spikes that grew from his body after the Destroyer's transformation to block the merciless iron fist's blow that almost killed the magician, a member of the Rogue Gang.
The bat mite, without any regard for consequences, moved all the members of its universe over, resulting in a mixed bag of quality among most of the members.
Among the Rogues, only Captain Cold and Heatwave can guarantee they won't be instantly killed by a single blow when facing Merciless Iron Fist. Aren't the rest of the Rogues at the level where they'd die from a single stab?
The instigator, Bat Mite, jumped around happily, clapping his hands and laughing: "That's right, that's right, Batman should protect innocent people, so Batman, this is so Batman."
He did two somersaults in the air and then said, "Hey, do you have any dollars in your pocket?"
The next second, a huge amount of US dollars uncontrollably appeared in Chen Tao's pocket, spraying out like feathers and landing in the magician's hand.
"Yes, yes, that's right. Batman should take out dollars from his pocket and give them to the innocent people after saving them."
(Note: This is indeed something Batman did during Batman: Year One.)
Chen Tao slipped and almost got kicked by the dollar, but at the last moment he still managed to stop the merciless iron fist from swinging its sword at Talia and Robin Damian Wayne, and grabbed Damian by the back of the neck when he tried to retaliate, and threw him to Poison Ivy next to him.
Then he hurriedly grabbed the merciless iron fist that was trying to kill Talia from behind.
"A rare sight indeed, my love. It would be even better if you weren't wearing the groom's clothes."
Talia turned to Wonder Woman, who was locked in combat with the Cruel Knight: "You have really bad taste."
"Now... is not... the time to say these things!"
Chen Tao flipped Wu Min Tie Wan to the ground, then punched him so hard he flew like a cannonball, blasting the ground open like tofu. Wu Min Tie Wan's mocking voice echoed in his ears.
"You know nothing about fighting, Bruce. You're far inferior to any other Bruce I've ever seen."
His heart was filled with gloom. The merciless iron fist looked disheveled, but in fact, it was completely unharmed. This guy is too resilient! How long will this fight last?
He leaped over, and then heard Bane's message mid-air: "Batman, I have a plan to quickly take down Merciless Iron Fist. You'll be on my orders."
"Okay, what is it?" Chen Tao immediately asked in the communication, and then he heard Bain's voice: "Don't resist yet."
"Resist?"
Chen Tao didn't understand what it meant. Then he saw the Crimson Gate of All Beings appear beside him, and a Diana wearing a crown jumped out from it.
Before Chen Tao could react, Wonder Queen grabbed his head and forcefully kissed him on the lips.
Chen Tao: "???"
With a loud pop, their mouths opened, leaving everyone speechless.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Tao heard Wonder Queen's command: "Next, Diana, go!"
The merciless iron fist, who had just calmed down and was still able to fight normally, was about to be driven crazy again.
